UTIPS is a great source where teachers can create tests to guide their students through the core curriculum. There is an account unique to Canyons District that you can get to by going to canyons.utips.org.
One thing I like about UTIPS is the fact that I can use test questions that have already been created or I can add my own questions. When using questions that have been created for me, the questions are set to match the core curriculum. They are set with the standards. Therefore, when you assign those questions, you are able to see which standards particular students may need to focus more time on.
When creating my own questions, I can create multiple choice or I can set up free response. One thing that I liked about the free response sections is that it t allows you to create and add a rubric for grading purposes. This would make grading more fair.
After creating the tests, they can be saved to your account. Therefore, you do not have to create the same test over and over. The tests can be shared too. This could be helpful and save time as a teacher shares it with their colleagues. The teachers could each take a section, create a test, and then share the tests.
UTIPS seemed to be really user friendly. Another benefit is that students only need to have one account with it, and they can add multiple classes to their account. This way, every teacher in the school could create UTIPS tests without having to create new accounts for every student!
